- Prompt Professional Repair

Third Coast Air & Heat provides AC repair, heating repair, system replacement and ductless mini-split service in Richmond, TX. We're based in Needville, a short drive south through Fort Bend County, and several of our technicians grew up there. As an Armstrong Air Pro Team dealer and a Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor, we can repair the system you have or design and install a new one sized to your home.
From the Courthouse Square to the Master-Planned Communities
Richmond is the Fort Bend County seat, and the blocks around the 1908 county courthouse hold some of the oldest homes in the county. Those houses tend to have short attics, small duct runs and rooms added on long after the original system went in, so one end of the house can run several degrees off from the other.
Most of Richmond's growth is in the master-planned communities that have filled in around the old town, such as Pecan Grove, Long Meadow Farms, Harvest Green and Aliana. Many of those homes are two stories, often with a second system or an attic air handler serving the upstairs. Upstairs bedrooms that stay warm long after the thermostat is satisfied are a familiar complaint, and the cause can be in the ductwork, in how the system was sized, or in a room that would be better served by its own ductless mini-split.

Common AC and Heating Problems in Richmond Homes
Long, humid summers and quick winter cold snaps are hard on equipment. These are the problems behind most calls for AC and heating repair in Richmond:
- AC running but not cooling: low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty evaporator or condenser coil, or a failed capacitor.
- Frozen indoor coil: usually restricted airflow from a clogged filter or a blower problem, sometimes low refrigerant.
- Water dripping from the attic: a clogged condensate line or overflowing drain pan under an attic air handler, which can stain or damage the ceiling below.
- A hot second floor: airflow, duct or sizing problems that leave upstairs rooms behind the rest of the house.
- No heat on the first cold night: a furnace igniter or pilot problem, a heat pump stuck in defrost, or failed backup heat strips.
- A system that never shuts off: an undersized or aging unit, a refrigerant leak or a thermostat that has lost its calibration.
Our HVAC Services in Richmond
AC Repair and Tune-Ups
When the air conditioning stops keeping up in a Richmond summer, our technicians troubleshoot the whole system to find the real cause, not just the symptom. Our AC repair service covers all types of air conditioners, and our tune-ups include cleaning and inspection to keep your system running at its peak efficiency.
Air Conditioner Installation
When an older system isn't worth another repair, we help you choose the right air conditioner and make sure it's sized and installed correctly. Our AC installation options include Armstrong Air systems up to 23 SEER, with a detailed quote before any work begins.
Furnace and Heat Pump Repair
Richmond winters are mild most of the time, which means a heating problem often goes unnoticed until the first real freeze. We provide heating repair for gas and electric furnaces, heat pump repair for systems that won't heat or keep icing over, and repairs for ductless systems in heating mode.
New Furnaces and Heat Pumps
For replacements we install Armstrong Air furnaces, from 80% AFUE models to a 96% AFUE variable-speed furnace, and Armstrong Air heat pumps that handle both heating and cooling with a single system.
Ductless Mini-Splits
A mini-split adds heating and cooling to a room without new ductwork, which makes it a practical fix for a hot upstairs bedroom, a game room over the garage, a converted garage or an addition. We install Mitsubishi ductless systems, including multi-zone models that run from 2 to 8 indoor units, and we handle mini-split repair and maintenance.
Indoor Air Quality and Humidity Control
Gulf Coast humidity doesn't stop at the front door. Our indoor air quality services include Aprilaire dehumidifiers, air cleaners, UV air purifiers and ventilation systems.
Commercial HVAC
We also install, maintain and repair rooftop units, unit heaters and split systems for commercial HVAC customers in Richmond.
Filters and Maintenance
Two visits a year through our maintenance agreement catch small problems early, and our Filter Shop ships air filters directly to your door between visits.
